8 Things That Happen When You Look Really Young

Growing up, I have always looked much younger than my age. I didn't think much of it, until I got to college and realized that the people around me look like real adults, and I look far from it. Here are 8 things that happen when you look really young:

1. People ask what grade you're in.

When you say you're a college student they don't believe you.

2. You could never get a fake ID.

People don't even believe your actual age, there's no way you could get away with a fake ID.

3. Your parents still make you sit at the "kids table" at family parties.

4. Looking younger than everyone in your family.

Your 13 year old cousin looks older than you.

5. When you go to see an R rated movie, they ask to see your ID.

How is it possible people don't think you are older than 17?!

6. People genuinely look confused when you pull out your car keys.

7. Buying something and the cashier assumes you're paying with cash, and when you give them your debit card they look shocked.

Or you do pay in cash, and they check to make sure your 20 dollar bill isn't fake.

8. You got the kids menu at restaurants for way longer than you should've.

You either got the kids menu, or your waiter awkwardly looked at you for a solid five minutes before handing you a menu.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
